Summary: Expat can't handle "Father&Son" string

Initial Comment:
Hello!

I have got the XML document described belowe:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<NAME>Father&amp;Son</NAME>

When expat calls the handler function:

static void characterData
(
 void *userData,
 const XML_Char *s,
 int len
)

variable *s contains string "Father" and I am wondering
why is the original string "Father&amp;Son" truncated.
I have compiled expat lib 1.95.6 in HP-UX with default 
options. Is there any chances to get this working?

Regards
Jouni

The documentation covers this; this is normal for a SAX-like
parser.
Closing this report as not a bug.

Are you aware of this part of the documentation for
the character data handler?

<quote>
A single block of contiguous text free of markup may still 
result in a sequence of calls to this handler. In other words, 
if you're searching for a pattern in the text, it may be split 
across calls to this handler.
